How to Read and Act on Your Sentiment Summary
Smart businesses don’t guess what customers think. They know—and act.
Your reviews hold more insight than you think. They’re not just about star ratings—they’re packed with patterns, themes, and trends that show what’s really driving your reputation.
Scorpion’s Sentiment Summary cuts through the noise and gets you straight to what matters most. No digging. No spreadsheets. Just clear insight that helps you move faster and make better decisions.
What You’ll See in Your Sentiment Summary
Think of this as your 90-day customer health check—powered by AI and backed by real reviews.
Overall Sentiment Score See what percentage of your reviews are positive—and how that stacks up against last period and your industry average.
High Impact Topics Get the top 2–3 themes (like communication, pricing, or professionalism) making the biggest impact—positive or negative—on how customers perceive your business.
Key Trends Spot what’s improving, what’s slipping, and what’s starting to show up.
Recommended Actions Clear, actionable next steps based on real patterns in your customer feedback.
How It Works (No Guesswork Involved)
Our AI doesn’t just scan for star ratings—it reads the actual text of your reviews. It finds recurring themes and scores them based on:
- How often they’re mentioned
- Whether sentiment is positive, negative, or mixed
- How those trends are shifting over time
- How much impact each theme has on your overall reputation
You’ll see color-coded tags like:
- Trending Up: Positive momentum
- Negatively Impacting: Slipping sentiment
- Emerging Risk: New topics with low volume, but strong signals
We spotlight topics that matter most—so you can focus your time where it counts.
What Happens If There’s Not Enough Data?
If there aren’t enough recent, text-based reviews, our AI doesn’t guess. Here’s what you’ll see:
Early Signals: We’ll still surface a few lower-volume themes showing up in recent reviews. They’re not weighted heavily yet—but they’re worth watching.
No Recommended Actions Yet: No clear pattern = no advice. You’ll get a heads-up that more review data is needed to generate smart recommendations.
Previous Summary Stays Visible: If you had enough review volume before, your last Sentiment Summary will stay visible—so you’re never starting from zero.
No Reviews = Empty State: If we don’t have enough to work with, you’ll get a clean notice and a nudge to start collecting reviews again.

Turn Insight Into Action
Seeing insights is great. Acting on them is where the real value happens.
Act on Recommended Actions—Now
When our AI surfaces a pattern—like pricing confusion or poor communication—it means it’s already affecting how people see you. Tackle it early. Small changes now prevent bigger problems later.
Use Positive Feedback to Grow Faster
When customers love something you do—don’t just say thanks. Use it.
Here’s how:
- Update your listings: Add customer-loved keywords to your Google Business Profile and service descriptions.

- Strengthen your sales pitch: Share standout reviews in proposals, welcome emails, or consultation materials.
